On March 18th, AKB48 sister group SDN48 held a release event for their last single, “Makeoshimi Congratulations“, at Yomiuri Land.
All members of SDN48 will be graduating from the group through a farewell concert at NHK Hall on March 31st.
SDN48 was created based on an ‘adult idol’ concept, and made their major debut in November of 2010 with the single, “GAGAGA“. Since then, the group has released “Ai, Chuseyo“, “MIN MIN MIN“, “Kudokinagara Azabu Juban Duet With Mino Monta“, and “Makeoshimi Congratulations“, which has all ranked in the top 3 in the Oricon Weekly Charts.
SDN48
has held a release event at Yomiuri Land for every single except
“Kudokinagara Azabu Juban Duet With Mino Monta”. On this day, the girls
performed a total of 9 songs for 3,000 fans in the rain.
Like Urano Kazumi, who will be joining AKB48 sub-unit Watarirouka Hashiritai 7, some members already have plans after graduation. Serina expressed, “Everyone has dreams in different areas, so we talk about how it would be nice if we’re connected in some way.”
Before leaving the stage, Noro called out, “I
want to give the best show on the 31st. I want people to be proud that
they have supported us. Please continue to support us until the very
end!”
